The composer John Cage was interested in how he could frame the orchestra’s audience members themselves, willing or not, as the actual music piece. He did so by framing a length of time and calling it art, and in this way activated the viewers and transformed them into the art producers. In 1952 Cage gave a musician specific instructions for how to perform his 4’33” piece. The musician was to walk on stage, prepare his instrument, and sit in silence for the duration of the piece, four minutes and thirty-three seconds long. In this way every spontaneous sound in the concert hall (coughs, shuffling, “What’s going on?”) became the official music. Cage blended the roles of music maker and listener and the question then becomes, who is the author of this work? Is it John Cage, or the audience members?
